This past weekend I travelled to Ottawa from Toronto with my husband for a Triathlon. We decided…read moreto take an additional off from work and booked a long weekend at a cottage on the water in White Lake, Ottawa (Thursday to Sunday). I contacted Snowbird (they rent cottages as well) and she assured me a tranquil and relaxing cottage on the water. We arrived around midnight on Thursday and were awoken by renovations early on Friday. Shortly after, the owners met us at the cottage (which is in fact the guest house to their main residence, where the renovations are taking place) and apologized for the noise - unfortunately, their tiling had fallen down from their newly renovated rooms and they were in a stretch for an upcoming wedding - that is taking place in 2 weeks. To further the inconvenience, an hour later, the bed (in the one room guest house) cracked through, causing me to fall through the frame entirely. We attempted to call the owners in order to have our issue fixed from early afternoon until well in the evening. When we were not able to reach them by phone, we travelled down to their main office (Snowbird Haven) and their residence (where they indicated previously we could find them). Unfortunately, we were not able to find them and we were forced to spend the night on the floor. The next day, far from relaxed, we decided to leave after the Triathlon instead of returning. I contacted the owners and requested to be reimbursed for the last night we did not spend there. She did not respond to my emails and when I finally called her, she stated she has no interest to reimburse me as it was "my choice to leave" and I would hear from her lawyer. A few hours later she called me to tell me her lawyer advised her to reimburse me. When I accepted the transfer, I received a slew of emails including personal attacks: "I see you accepted the money e transfer. You are a very impatient person as I can see you wrote a review on cottage country. That is something that I would expect from a person from Toronto, so I am not surprised. That was how quickly you wrote and that is the same as you trying to reach us. You expect it right away, and think you are the only person we are dealing with. You have a serious problem..oh yes you are a controller by trade....that is it. are a very self centered person and you are certainly not the definition of a "Mother"

It's such a pretty drive up to the Calabogie Peaks Resort along a twisty, windy, curvy road! I love…read morecoming here in the summer for their 2 music festivals in June and August, but the Resort is best known for winter downhill skiing. You can rent skis here and they offer two lifts going up the "hills" (which are rather steep IMHO!), and a chalet with a canteen on the main floor. Upstairs has a fireplace and a bar where you can warm up, cool down, or just chill out. The upstairs leads out to a balcony offering a panoramic view of the grounds (including the stage for summer concernts). Then there is a staircase that leads down to the grounds. It's a really nice facility. Theres a fall festival coming up this year, when they will offer lifts up the hill to admire the fall colours up close. The staff has all been great, friendly and efficient. August 2017: I am editing my review to add that there's a restaurant called Canthooks in the resort. No idea why I didn't mention it in my previous review; maybe I hadn't gone there before. But I can say that it's pretty good. They offer a decent brunch on the weekends, for about $15.00 all you can eat, which I believe also offers free refills on coffee. I look forward to going back this weekend.

I am giving a big star rating due to the sweetness of the staff and the gorgeousness of the…read morelocation. We stayed this past Thanksgiving weekend with family for the holiday in one of the two level condos. The accommodations are fairly dated, needing some updates and a real big scrub down. The weather could not have been more perfect, so we took advantage of riding up the hill on the ski lift for a pleasant hike in the woods on a beautiful sunny Sunday. The views were absolutely breathtaking and worth the trek and stay. We ended up using the pool with our young nephew who did have a good time but wished there were some toys to play with in the aquatic area. The outdoor hot tub was very gross however, wasn't hot and had a mysterious smell and colour to the water (avoid!). Since our family brought our own food to cook in the condo kitchen, the only food we tried at the resort were some fries with a side of mayo, which were quite tasty, reminding me of a old school chip truck variety - YUM! Tried the local beer called the Farmer's Daughter by the Ottawa based Whitewater Brewing Co and enjoyed every second of sunshine on their quaint patio. I would recommend visiting with an open mind ;)

We held a family reunion here at Myers Cave Resort. We rented both the historic farm house and two…read morecottages to enable us to sleep 34 people (some were babies with their own cribs). All the facilities have just been redone, giving every surface a clean welcoming appearance. Both the cottages and the main house are very well equipped with new dishes and appliances, a rare thing in cottage country. In fact the farm house has nothing lacking - there are enough dishes for 40 for dinner plus all the cooking dishes. The new pool and spa are a great addition, as the only complaint is the lake bottom is boggy so not very nice to walk on if you are swimming and there are a great deal of lake weeds. However it was possible to swim and enjoy all the water craft that are also included with the rental. They have thoughtfully provided all the water front equipment such as life jackets in all sizes, beach toys for the children and lounging chairs. The onsite staff are very attentive and friendly. The cost is not cheap, but as with many things you get what you pay for - this cottage/resort living provides you with comfort and some luxuries you are simply not going to get elsewhere. There is something for all ages to do. And yes we would stay here again and recommend it for a group or family stay.

If I could give this resort 10 stars, I would! We stayed in the lakeview cottage in August 2015…read more The 2 bedroom cottage was modern and spotless with everything you would expect from a resort including clean towels, bed linens, and dish soap! The cottage is right on the water where you have all day access to the paddle boats, canoes, and beach volley ball. It was only 20 degrees when we got there so it was too cold to swim in the lake, but the outdoor pool was like bath water (I think about 88 degrees) and the outdoor hot tub was a nice place to relax in the evening. There is also a fire pit that could comfortably fit 10-15 people! Finally, the hospitality there was always courteous and friendly. This is a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors with your family. I would definitely recommended this resort to my family and friends and will be back again next summer!
